Ritornell for Musicbox (by Ritornell)

If it isn’t clear from the video, this is a business card. Lovely.

The first chapter of the Music Box Chronicles is a glimpse into the timeless life of Twinklebox, a music box caught in an infinite world, set to his own melody.

Marion J. Ross on synæsthesia:


From the time I was very young, I used words and phrases to describe things that (apparently) made no sense to the people around me. I would say that something I had heard “tasted like summer” or “felt like velvet.” Many of my teachers felt I was using words that I didn’t fully understand…others thought it was me trying to convey a feeling and not having the words to describe it. Looking back, I don’t think anyone realized that I was being literal.
It wasn’t until I was in high school that I realized that other people don’t experience things the way I do. It wasn’t until after college that there is a word for people like me.
I’m a synaesthete. My synaesthesia primarily manifests when I listen to music. It’s most pronounced when I’m at a live show. I (very literally) see, feel, and taste music in addition to hearing it. I can’t imagine life without it, and I wouldn’t want to.
